The E36 looked good, but it was in pretty bad shape. Really bad rust on the underside, and trailing arms and tie rods needed replacing. To be honest, they gave me more than it was worth.

Would have loved to keep the car and worked on it myself but unfortunately I don't have a driveway/garage/extra space to keep the car or to work in :( the convenience of doing an on-the-spot trade was worth any delta I would have gained by selling the car myself.

I'm surprised nobody else mentioned this, but I really wish ORAS had challenge mode. Even though it doesn't do much (just increases NPC levels and makes the AI a -bit- smarter, it seems), it goes a long way.

I always seem to be way overleveled, but with challenge mode on in B2 the difficulty was perfect.

There are also so many distractions in ORAS (re-battling trainers, DexNav, etc.) that make me spend more time gaining XP than in other games. Also, Pokemon Bank means that lots of players (like me) are transferring Pokemon into ORAS, resulting in boosted XP gains, which makes it easy to become overleveled.
